- 1:04SPEAKER_04: So, first off, um, I'll just go ahead and the first concert I ever saw.
- 1:08SPEAKER_04: I think I've said it numbers of times before, first concert I ever saw was Rush.
- 1:13SPEAKER_04: And it was part of the hemisphere tour.
- 1:14SPEAKER_04: So I saw it in uh I think it was like September of 78.
- 1:18SPEAKER_04: It was the first show I ever seen.
- 1:20SPEAKER_04: And uh, of course I loved it, obviously.
- 1:24SPEAKER_04: Bought me my shirt so I could wear it the next day at school, you know, like you always do.
- 1:28SPEAKER_04: Look where I was yesterday.
- 1:30SPEAKER_04: Um it was back when Rush had the uh uh I I can't think of another word for it, but like robes.
- 1:40SPEAKER_04: Like these white robes.
- 1:42SPEAKER_03: It was their kimono.
- 1:44SPEAKER_04: Yeah, the kimonos.
- 1:49SPEAKER_02: You ever hear them talking about it, by the way?
- 1:51SPEAKER_02: Sorry to interrupt you, but oh yeah, but they used to be able to do that.
- 1:54SPEAKER_02: They just crack themselves up wearing that stuff.
- 1:57SPEAKER_04: Um did they open up, or I can't remember if they opened up for UFO or UFO opened up for them, but anyway, uh Getty would always say they'd walk on stage and they would have these slippers by their mics where these guys put slippers there.
- 2:16SPEAKER_04: Uh I think they only did it that one tour.
- 2:18SPEAKER_04: That was a good one.
- 2:19SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I think that was it.
- 2:20SPEAKER_03: Then they they realized uh I think they saw themselves in a picture or something, and it's like uh Yeah, like man, we look silly.
- 2:27SPEAKER_04: Well, it I mean you can see on the back of the 2112, they've got like a robe kind of thing on.
- 2:32SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah.
- 2:33SPEAKER_03: And they even do uh like in their cartoons before their shows now, they show them.
- 2:39SPEAKER_03: I think that part of yeah, yeah.
- 2:41SPEAKER_04: They always make fun of themselves on those before and after little um I call videos they put up on screens.
- 2:48SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 2:48SPEAKER_04: Yeah, they're funny.
- 2:52SPEAKER_04: Well, then one time they had oh, was it Paul Rudd?
- 2:56SPEAKER_04: You know, because Paul Rudd's a huge, he's a rush fan.
- 2:59SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 2:59SPEAKER_04: And one time I saw him um and they put um Paul Rudd like backstage.
- 3:08SPEAKER_04: And uh they show him and the other guy, I can't think of his name, but they did that um show together.
- 3:13SPEAKER_04: Uh uh, did a movie, and it was kind of like had rush music in it, and they loved Rush, and that's how they connected in this movie with Rush.
- 3:22SPEAKER_04: Anyway, they were backstage, and Paul Rudd goes, Oh wow, look at this! Look at all this food, and he starts eating the sandwich, and then Neil comes in and goes, Hey, that's my sandwich.
- 3:34SPEAKER_04: He's like, uh anyway, that was a good show, especially the first one I've ever seen.
- 3:42SPEAKER_04: I think it was at St.
- 3:43SPEAKER_04: John Arena, I believe, is where I saw it, which is what, about 8,000 people maybe fitting there at the time.
- 3:51SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it was before it's not a huge place, yeah.
- 3:54SPEAKER_04: It wasn't a huge place, but yeah.
- 3:56SPEAKER_04: And then the last time I seen him, it was at uh nationwide arena, obviously, and that's like 18, yeah, 18,000, 20,000 people in there.
- 4:04SPEAKER_04: That was the last uh tour that um you know Neopark that was their like for farewell tour, I guess you call it.
- 4:13SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah.
- 4:16SPEAKER_03: So I uh my first concert um was uh 77.
- 4:25SPEAKER_03: I had to look this up because I couldn't remember what year it was.
- 4:28SPEAKER_03: And I think it was 77.
- 4:30SPEAKER_03: It was the Kiss uh St.
- 4:32SPEAKER_03: John Arena.
- 4:33SPEAKER_03: Kiss, yeah.
- 4:34SPEAKER_03: And that was my first concert, and I remember not so much them.
- 4:41SPEAKER_03: Well, I I mean I do remember them, but I couldn't tell you what they played in what order or anything like that.
- 4:47SPEAKER_03: We sat on the side, it was kind of like uh off the side of the stage a little bit, so you can s kind of see backstage where they had the curtains and where they go back and do their makeup during you know solos and stuff and redo their makeup.
- 5:04SPEAKER_03: And uh so I remember looking at we were on the side of Gene Simmons, and he, you know, like during Ace's or you know, Peter's solo or something, he'd go back there and you know do his makeup a little bit and stuff.
- 5:16SPEAKER_03: Then he had like a little behind the scenes look.
- 5:19SPEAKER_03: Yeah, he had like a makeup table back there, you know, with the lights, and he, you know, anyway.
- 5:23SPEAKER_03: But it was kind of cool because yeah, you kind of you got to see how the sausage was made a little bit.
- 5:28SPEAKER_03: And the guy I went with, who you didn't know, um he got a uh a towel that Gene threw at him because he was down there yelling at him and it was a towel with his makeup on.
- 5:43SPEAKER_03: Wow, see gabbed his his face and stuff redoing his makeup.
- 5:47SPEAKER_03: Well, you must have been pretty close to the stage then.
- 5:50SPEAKER_03: Uh yeah, not bad.
- 5:51SPEAKER_03: Just off to the side.
- 5:52SPEAKER_03: Yeah, just off to the side.
- 5:54SPEAKER_03: And uh, well, he ran down to the as far as he can get closest to the stage.
- 6:00SPEAKER_03: It's not where we were sitting, but he actually went down.
- 6:03SPEAKER_02: Oh.
- 6:04SPEAKER_03: And uh so it was a good kind.
- 6:05SPEAKER_03: I remember that.
- 6:06SPEAKER_03: I have no idea who backed him up.
- 6:09SPEAKER_03: Uh I remember his dad.
- 6:13SPEAKER_03: We couldn't drive yet, right?
- 6:15SPEAKER_03: We're too young.
- 6:16SPEAKER_03: And uh his dad dropped us off and picked us up.
- 6:22SPEAKER_03: That we were like what it been, probably like 13, 14.
- 6:28SPEAKER_03: 13, maybe.
- 6:30SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I don't know if you'd do that today.
- 6:33SPEAKER_03: Just drop 13-year-olds off downtown, you know.
- 6:38SPEAKER_03: Yep, see you in about four hours.
- 6:40SPEAKER_03: Yep.
- 6:41SPEAKER_03: If I'm not here, you know, just kind of hang out.
- 6:43SPEAKER_03: You know, it's kind of and it was hard.
- 6:45SPEAKER_04: Back then it was hard to get a hold of you because you didn't have cell phones.
- 6:47SPEAKER_03: There's no cells, so it's not like you could text somebody and say, okay, the concert's over, we're making our way out.
- 6:53SPEAKER_03: No, you know, nothing, man.
- 6:55SPEAKER_03: It you drove by.
- 6:56SPEAKER_03: If you didn't see, you just kinda drove by again.
- 7:00SPEAKER_03: Kept going, yeah, yeah.
- 7:01SPEAKER_03: Kept going on the block or something.
- 7:03SPEAKER_03: So yeah, but that that was the first concert.
- 7:06SPEAKER_03: And then putting this list together, I don't know about you, but I'm like, holy crap, there's like 50 bands on here or something.
- 7:15SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I've been to a lot of shows.
- 7:17SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and it's like uh I'm like, I forgot all about that.
- 7:22SPEAKER_03: You know, you start the memory starts jerning growing in there.
- 7:26SPEAKER_03: It's like I forgot about this.
- 7:28SPEAKER_04: And um the funny thing about it, most of my concerts I went to, probably a lot of these were within like five, six years.
- 7:35SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 7:35SPEAKER_03: I went to almost all these shows.
- 7:37SPEAKER_03: Well, and I started noticing, right?
- 7:40SPEAKER_03: I'm like, yeah, okay, that was boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
- 7:43SPEAKER_03: And then got married, had kids, so it was a slowdown there, and then a big slowdown when you can either buy a car or go to a concert.
- 7:55SPEAKER_03: That was your that was your choice.
- 7:57SPEAKER_03: And it's like now instead of going to a concert every month just because you know, you just wanted to check them out.
- 8:08SPEAKER_03: Now you don't you can do no uh you can't can't do that anymore, so you gotta pick and choose.
- 8:14SPEAKER_03: This is our one year, one concert a year who we're gonna go see.
- 8:19SPEAKER_03: You know, so it's too pricey.
- 8:21SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it is so much money.
- 8:23SPEAKER_04: So I remember my my rush show.
- 8:25SPEAKER_04: I I think it was eight eight dollars.
- 8:26SPEAKER_04: I still have the ticket stuff from it.
- 8:28SPEAKER_04: I think I paid eight bucks.
- 8:30SPEAKER_04: Eight bucks for yeah, I can't remember.
- 8:33SPEAKER_03: You know, a lot of these bands they wasn't eight.
- 8:37SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I don't remember much.
- 8:39SPEAKER_03: I mean, I remember going.
- 8:41SPEAKER_03: And this is why I was thinking about this the other night.
- 8:44SPEAKER_03: I was like, this is why I don't pay a lot of money for this, right?
- 8:48SPEAKER_03: Because my memory is shot, and I don't want to pay 200 bucks for something five years from now.
- 8:58SPEAKER_03: I I'm gonna forget I even did it.
- 9:00SPEAKER_03: You know, I mean, there's a lot of you, trust me.
- 9:02SPEAKER_03: I mean, you know, I spent crap.
- 9:06SPEAKER_03: But it's just it's one of those things where it's like, man, it's not it's just not worth it anymore.
- 9:13SPEAKER_03: Yeah, especially when the you go see somebody doesn't even have an original person in the band.
- 9:18SPEAKER_03: No, you're paying a hundred bucks to see a cover band.
- 9:21SPEAKER_03: If you're lucky, if you're like yeah.
- 9:24SPEAKER_03: So anyhow, who else have you seen, sir?
- 9:28SPEAKER_04: Oh, I've seen Journey back in the day.
- 9:31SPEAKER_04: Um, I think it was 1980 at that point.
- 9:33SPEAKER_04: I would have Journey and it was the oh, it was the nana, you know, na.
- 9:39SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah, back there kind of days more of a rock architect.
- 9:44SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah, and I just remember um was it uh was it with the guitar player?
- 9:50SPEAKER_04: Oh gosh, ne um Sean.
- 9:53SPEAKER_04: Neil Sean.
- 9:54SPEAKER_04: Sean, yeah, Neil Shan.
- 9:56SPEAKER_04: Um he just had this big, huge afro.
- 9:59SPEAKER_04: I mean huge afro.
- 10:00SPEAKER_04: Didn't he have the uh the It would just wave back and forth as he's playing the guitar?
- 10:05SPEAKER_04: I just remember that.
- 10:06SPEAKER_04: Didn't he have the uh the mut what do you call that?
- 10:08SPEAKER_04: The mustache Oh yeah, he had like a yep, like a goatee kind of thing.
- 10:13SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah.
- 10:16SPEAKER_03: Yeah, he man, he is an awesome guitarist though.
- 10:18SPEAKER_03: Yeah, he played for Santana too.
- 10:21SPEAKER_03: Good show.
- 10:22SPEAKER_03: When he was like, I think he started with Santana when he was like 16 or 17 or something like that.
- 10:27SPEAKER_03: Wow, yeah, yeah, crazy.
- 10:29SPEAKER_04: It was a good time.
- 10:30SPEAKER_04: I saw I think it was Veterans Memorial, and I think that was five or six thousand maybe fat sat in there.
- 10:36SPEAKER_04: Veterans Memorial.
- 10:37SPEAKER_04: I think it's only like three thousand.
- 10:40SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I don't think it's like that big.
- 10:42SPEAKER_04: It wasn't that big, it's not that huge.
- 10:44SPEAKER_04: Yeah, that's where I saw a lot of these uh um shows.
- 10:48SPEAKER_03: I also saw Triumph there.
- 10:50SPEAKER_03: I saw, I think we were at the sh same show, we just didn't know each other then.
- 10:54SPEAKER_03: I didn't I didn't know the side each other, Scott.
- 10:57SPEAKER_03: You could have.
- 10:58SPEAKER_03: We could have.
- 10:59SPEAKER_04: Where'd you sit?
- 11:00SPEAKER_04: Do you remember where you sat?
- 11:02SPEAKER_04: Um, it was just in the middle.
- 11:04SPEAKER_04: I think it was middle right, maybe.
- 11:06SPEAKER_04: So I think uh probably 10 rows up on the left.
- 11:10SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you were gonna side.
- 11:12SPEAKER_04: You were in front of me.
- 11:14SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 11:14SPEAKER_04: I was probably more like the 40 range and f back there, kind of middle.
- 11:22SPEAKER_04: But uh, the reason I'll only reason I went to the show is because um I'd never heard of these guys, and I think it was late night and they had a commercial, and it was a rock and roll machine, and they they showed them like live and rock and roll, come see Triumph this weekend, you know, at Venners Morial, blah blah blah.
- 11:40SPEAKER_04: And I'm thinking, wow, they do look pretty good.
- 11:43SPEAKER_04: But some tickets, you know, because back then tickets were like eight dollars, yeah, seven dollars, nothing.
- 11:49SPEAKER_04: Yeah, not like you're wasting a whole bunch of money on somebody, yeah.
- 11:54SPEAKER_03: It wasn't cost prohibitive back then.
- 11:56SPEAKER_03: No, yeah, I went with uh mutual friend of ours.
- 12:00SPEAKER_03: It's kind of the same thing.
- 12:01SPEAKER_03: Hey, you want to go see this band called Triumph?
- 12:04SPEAKER_03: I had no idea who they were either.
- 12:06SPEAKER_03: I'm like, yeah, because tickets were so cheap, it's like, yeah, something to do.
- 12:10SPEAKER_03: And man, what a concert.
- 12:12SPEAKER_03: You remember who uh backed them up?
- 12:16SPEAKER_04: Who who um what band I mean opened up for him?
- 12:19SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 12:20SPEAKER_04: No, not at all.

- 12:38SPEAKER_04: Midget was he a bass player, wasn't he?
- 12:40SPEAKER_04: Midget bass player.

- 12:59SPEAKER_04: That was uh, and that's like who right, I remember that now.

- 13:04SPEAKER_04: But I mean, Rick Emmett was the show.
- 13:06SPEAKER_04: I mean, he's man.
- 13:08SPEAKER_03: He's doing something that I can't figure to this day how he did it.
- 13:13SPEAKER_03: And I was close enough to kind of, you know, look, and it's almost I thought, and this is stupid, but I thought he had a piece of sandpaper like taped to his wrist, his right wrist, and he was going down and up with his wrist because I didn't see him picking it or anything.
- 13:32SPEAKER_03: And it was like kind of sound.
- 13:36SPEAKER_03: And I'm like, does he have something on his wrist?
- 13:40SPEAKER_03: And I could never see the back side of his wrist.
- 13:43SPEAKER_03: I had no idea how he was making that sound.
- 13:46SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
- 13:46SPEAKER_03: Still have no idea.
- 13:49SPEAKER_04: Yeah, back in the day.
- 13:51SPEAKER_04: I think I was wearing spandex that night.
- 13:56SPEAKER_04: Back when you could wear spandex.
- 13:58SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah, not get arrested.
- 14:00SPEAKER_03: Especially now, yeah.
- 14:01SPEAKER_04: Oh, yeah.
- 14:02SPEAKER_04: But he was a hell of a guitar player.
- 14:04SPEAKER_04: He was all over that stage.
- 14:06SPEAKER_03: All over it, just uh the voice was good.
- 14:09SPEAKER_03: I mean, just that whole man, they were they were a good band.
- 14:13SPEAKER_04: And when I was when I I can't remember if it was that show or another show I saw him, but the um because I see him a couple times, but um Rick Moore, uh Rick, Rick Moore.
- 14:26SPEAKER_04: No, Eric Moore.
- 14:27SPEAKER_04: No, shoot, that's the gods.

- 14:31SPEAKER_04: Oh drummer for Triumph.
- 14:32SPEAKER_04: Um shoot.
- 14:35SPEAKER_04: Anyway, he he came, he'd always come out front of the drum set every show, and he would do like a spiel.
- 14:43SPEAKER_04: And the one time I saw him, he did this disco sucks spiel back in, you know, that was probably oh, when was that?
- 14:52SPEAKER_04: 80s?
- 14:52SPEAKER_04: Was that the 80s when the disco sucks thing came out?
- 14:55SPEAKER_04: Oh late 70s, yeah.
- 14:58SPEAKER_04: Yeah, and he came out and did that, and they their actual concert t-shirts at that time had disco sucks on the back of their t-shirts.
- 15:06SPEAKER_04: Yeah, and I bought one, it was a yellow one, I bought it, and my mom did not like it.

- 15:35SPEAKER_04: All field?
- 15:36SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 15:37SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that was uh I think I was the White Sox, or was it the Cubbies?
- 15:44SPEAKER_04: I don't remember which one it was.
- 15:48SPEAKER_04: But they blew up the records, and it was supposed to be a double header, and they couldn't play the next game because it just became such a mess.
- 15:55SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I think that was the yeah, I don't wanna I don't want to commit to it, but I think it was the White Sox, but I could be wrong.
- 16:02SPEAKER_04: Maybe.
- 16:02SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 16:03SPEAKER_04: I know there's a documentary about it on on uh because the guy that actually did that, I think he went on to the guy that promoted that went on to do, I think he uh like a minor league team.
- 16:17SPEAKER_04: He went to go because he got pretty much, you know, that's it, you're out of here.
- 16:21SPEAKER_04: So he went to do promotions for a minor league team, and he still did stuff like that his whole life.
- 16:27SPEAKER_04: He just weird promotions.

- 17:17SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that's the best.
- 17:19SPEAKER_03: Wasn't during the ship like when they were camping.
- 17:21unknown: Yeah.
- 17:22SPEAKER_03: Kind of like in a valley kind of thing, and it just yeah.

- 18:12SPEAKER_04: I've seen a couple other bands there too.
- 18:15SPEAKER_04: So I thought I I probably would never do that again right now.
- 18:18SPEAKER_04: I'm just too old to go.
- 18:19SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I never threw all that.
- 18:22SPEAKER_03: Never cared for the horror like that venue.

- 18:29SPEAKER_04: This you went to the Gemini or uh not Gemini, um Germain amphitheater, didn't you?
- 18:35SPEAKER_03: Yeah, but that's not what I would call like a just sitting out in a big field kind of thing.
- 18:41SPEAKER_03: That's what I mean by just yeah.
- 18:44SPEAKER_03: Uh that was a great place to see there.
- 18:47SPEAKER_04: Yeah, because you could get the what we call the lawn seats where you just bring a blanket.
- 18:51SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I used to do that.
- 18:52SPEAKER_04: They were like yeah, ten or twenty bucks.
- 18:55SPEAKER_04: They weren't very expensive.

- 19:35SPEAKER_03: Huh?
- 19:36SPEAKER_04: Was this one of one he's getting older?
- 19:38SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it was probably what, ten years ago.
- 19:42SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 19:43SPEAKER_03: Maybe longer than that.
- 19:44SPEAKER_03: It was it was a while back.
- 19:46SPEAKER_03: When that place first kind of opened.
- 19:49SPEAKER_03: And they had a lot of oh.

- 19:59SPEAKER_04: And he was in like a loincloth.
- 20:01SPEAKER_04: Yeah.

- 20:05SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 20:06SPEAKER_03: Well, I saw him.
- 20:07SPEAKER_03: Did you I saw him with the damn Yankees too?
- 20:10SPEAKER_03: And that was I saw that was another one we saw at the a Veterans Memorial if you were there.
- 20:15SPEAKER_03: Vets?
- 20:16SPEAKER_03: You might have gone with that one.
- 20:18SPEAKER_03: No, you didn't go there.
- 20:19SPEAKER_03: No.
- 20:19SPEAKER_03: I never saw the damn Yankees.
- 20:21SPEAKER_03: Oh, that that that actually was a good concert, man, I have to tell you.
- 20:26SPEAKER_03: Um it was just so not all the people together in that band, you wouldn't have picked them to be in a band together.
- 20:38SPEAKER_03: You know, like Tommy Shaw, yeah, you know, Jack Blades, and then Ted Nugent, just those bands.
- 20:47SPEAKER_03: I mean, you know, they were rock bands, if you will, but just different kind of different kind of rock.
- 20:54SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 20:55SPEAKER_03: Anywho's in the stamp.
- 20:57SPEAKER_03: And then um let's see, who else do I?
- 21:01SPEAKER_04: Um did you ever see Nazareth?
- 21:05SPEAKER_04: That was one of my favorite shows, too.
- 21:07SPEAKER_03: So I saw they um um opened up for Deep Purple at the state fair.
- 21:17unknown: Ooh.
- 21:18SPEAKER_03: And went with uh one of our friends, Douglas P.
- 21:21SPEAKER_03: That one.
- 21:22unknown: Huh.
- 21:23SPEAKER_03: That was by the way.
- 21:26SPEAKER_03: Even they were older.
- 21:28SPEAKER_03: This has been had to be 10, 10, 12, 13 years ago now, I would think.
- 21:36SPEAKER_03: Been a while.
- 21:37SPEAKER_03: Anywhere, yeah.
- 21:38SPEAKER_03: The beat deep purple, that could have been yesterday.
- 21:42SPEAKER_03: Who knows?
- 21:43SPEAKER_03: But Deep Purple that wasn't, but you know what I mean.
- 21:46SPEAKER_03: Um Deep Purple, man, they rocked.
- 21:50SPEAKER_03: Because uh everybody was original, obviously, except Blackmore.
- 21:54SPEAKER_03: Even the original singer was back.
- 21:58SPEAKER_03: Uh, so the only person that wasn't There was uh Blackmore.
- 22:02SPEAKER_03: And oh man, that was just such a good concert.
- 22:07SPEAKER_03: And Nazareth opened up for him.
- 22:10SPEAKER_03: Which also, you know, I don't I can't remember them as much as Deep Purple because I was a big Deep Purple fan.
- 22:17SPEAKER_03: But you know, but they were good.
- 22:20SPEAKER_03: I mean, I I obviously remember the song, you know, but um I can't rem I can't see them in my mind's eye like I can to you know Deep Purple.
- 22:29SPEAKER_03: Because there's some you know where you can look back in your memory and you can see them on stage.
- 22:34SPEAKER_03: Like I remember you know, Triumph, I remember them on stage and certain things that Emmett did and the bass player did and the drummer.
- 22:43SPEAKER_03: I can't remember the whole concert, but you remember certain parts of it that impressed the crap out of you, you know, or something like that.
- 22:50SPEAKER_05: But uh yeah, they were good, man.
- 22:53SPEAKER_04: Did you well I remember I've seen them a couple times when they had a headliner and they used to have this huge Nazareth sign that would light up.
- 23:01SPEAKER_04: It it would just start like they'll light up the N, then they'll light up the A, then they light up the A, you know, and it would just go dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun until all of a sudden they would just flash real.
- 23:15SPEAKER_04: The whole sign would just flash, and then they would start playing.
- 23:18SPEAKER_04: So it was a great B.
- 23:19SPEAKER_04: It was they did that almost every show I seen.
- 23:22SPEAKER_04: I've probably seen before.
- 23:23SPEAKER_04: What did they all time up with, you remember?
- 23:25SPEAKER_04: Oh gosh, that's a good question.
- 23:27SPEAKER_04: I have no idea.
- 23:28SPEAKER_04: I know they did Hair of the Dog and Love Herds.
- 23:31SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 23:32SPEAKER_04: Um, I can't remember any of I no idea.
- 23:37SPEAKER_04: No idea, but I know it was a rocker because they just you know started playing fast.
- 23:42SPEAKER_04: They couldn't do a love song after that.
- 23:45SPEAKER_04: No, no, no, that just got you the crowd going like crazy.
- 23:49SPEAKER_04: And then I I've seen Ozzy, Ozzy Ozbom.
- 23:53SPEAKER_04: I never seen Ozzy or uh Black Sabbath.
- 23:56SPEAKER_04: So I've seen them both.
- 23:57SPEAKER_04: Have you?
- 23:58SPEAKER_04: And I seen Ozzy by himself.
- 24:01SPEAKER_04: Then I saw Black Sabbath when they had Ronnie Dio remember sing for him because Ozzy left him.
- 24:07SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 24:07SPEAKER_04: I saw them then.
- 24:08SPEAKER_04: That was a good show.
- 24:10SPEAKER_04: Um with you know, with Dio, he kind of did that I don't know, he had that warlock feel, like he was always like pointing and uh just like he was like a a witch of some kind, you know, on stage and he had a cape on.
- 24:27SPEAKER_03: Which surprise I was his voice is totally different than Ozzy's to me.
- 24:31SPEAKER_03: Oh yeah.
- 24:32SPEAKER_03: Right, and it was just so I don't know if it affected the way they wrote the music.
- 24:39SPEAKER_04: It probably did, yeah.
- 24:40SPEAKER_04: I would assume it had.
- 24:41SPEAKER_04: Because Ozzy would come up with when Black Sabbath, Ozzy was the one who came up with like the uh well, he didn't come up with the words or the music, but he came up with like the how the words what do you call it, the rhythm or the oh gosh, what would you call it?
- 24:56SPEAKER_04: Melody.
- 24:57SPEAKER_04: Melody.
- 24:58SPEAKER_04: He'd come up with the melody, and then the I think it was the bass player would would write the words to what Ozzy just came.
- 25:04SPEAKER_04: Melody.
- 25:04SPEAKER_03: I didn't know that, yeah.
- 25:05SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah.
- 25:07SPEAKER_04: Because he he they have you ever heard you've never heard it where they they were like, here's Ozzy singing, you know, uh paranoia.
- 25:14SPEAKER_04: And it, you know, it's not the words, paranoia, because it was the first track would always just be him going, yeah, going to the restroom, and I go to, you know, it's just making up words.
- 25:25SPEAKER_04: And then they would come back with the guy would write words and come back and say, Here, Ozzy, sing this.
- 25:30SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 25:31SPEAKER_04: But uh I boy.
- 25:40SPEAKER_03: Uh Scott's uh he kind of went on vacation.
- 25:43SPEAKER_04: Um all of a sudden he's back now.
- 25:45SPEAKER_03: Yeah, Scott's back.
- 25:48SPEAKER_04: Oh, you couldn't hear me?
- 25:50SPEAKER_03: Uh you froze, yeah.
- 25:52SPEAKER_04: Oh no.
- 25:53SPEAKER_04: It's it's the internet here in the country.
- 25:56SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it's sometimes it goes out.
- 25:58SPEAKER_03: You were talking uh about uh Ozzy.
- 26:01SPEAKER_03: Ozzy, and what was the last thing you said?
- 26:04SPEAKER_03: Was uh we were talking about yeah.
- 26:07SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 26:08SPEAKER_04: Anyway, Randy Rhodes was was with him.
- 26:11SPEAKER_04: Um never heard of it before, and all of a sudden in the middle of the show, he let the guitar player do his you know solo.
- 26:19SPEAKER_04: And I'm like, why is he getting this guy a solo?
- 26:21SPEAKER_04: Who is he?
- 26:22SPEAKER_04: And then after the solo is over, you're going, oh geez, this guy plays guitar good.
- 26:26SPEAKER_04: No wonder he did it.
- 26:27SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 26:28SPEAKER_04: And then I saw him maybe two years later, and Randy Rhodes had passed away at this point, and the show was just not as good.
- 26:38SPEAKER_04: And we went because Ozzy was supposed to have all these theatrics where a midget would run around in a cape, and they had this big hand that Ozzy would be on, and he'd kind of go over the stage on this big hand, and then at the very end of the show, the midget would be hung, you know, from these, you know, thing.
- 26:57SPEAKER_04: They had all these all these theatrical stuff.
- 26:59SPEAKER_04: We said, Oh, let me just go see it.
- 27:01SPEAKER_04: This gotta be cool.
- 27:02SPEAKER_04: He was not allowed to do any of it.
- 27:05SPEAKER_04: The uh Fairgrounds Coliseum would not let him do any of it because of safety.
- 27:10SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 27:11SPEAKER_04: And I was like, oh man.
- 27:13SPEAKER_04: And it was not as it was not as good.
- 27:16SPEAKER_04: So obviously.
- 27:18SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 27:19SPEAKER_03: Um so here's here's one that might well you ever heard of the band Spyrogyro?
- 27:26SPEAKER_03: Yes.

- 28:18SPEAKER_04: They were basically looking at each other.
- 28:20SPEAKER_03: Yeah, so they were there, and I'll tell you that that show there, because it was such a close venue to the stage.
- 28:28SPEAKER_03: I mean, there was not a it was basically a bar.
- 28:32SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it was with a big stage on it, and you know, there was and they were fantastic there, the energy, because I think the people were closer than you know, High Theater where you're sitting down and it's more of a actual nice theater kind of thing, right?

- 30:47SPEAKER_04: And they threw out these like fake dollar bills to the crowd that had like their picture on it, you know.

- 30:55SPEAKER_04: I said, Oh, you know what?
- 30:57SPEAKER_04: I ordered a you know, a picture of beer, and instead of giving you know the tip, I gave her these fake dollar bills along with the the actual paid for the the picture, and I gave these dollar bills to her.
- 31:11SPEAKER_04: And I thought it would be funny, but um, she did not laugh, Doug.

- 31:36SPEAKER_03: I don't know how I how I uh I could forget about that.
- 31:40SPEAKER_03: Yeah.

- 31:44SPEAKER_03: The worst concert I've ever been to.
- 31:47unknown: Go.
- 31:48SPEAKER_03: What's that?
- 31:48SPEAKER_03: What's your worst concert you ever been to?

- 32:05SPEAKER_03: I was at the Newport.
- 32:06SPEAKER_03: Was it the Agore?
- 32:07SPEAKER_03: Or it was the Newport by then, I think, right?
- 32:09SPEAKER_03: Or it might have still been the Agora.
- 32:11SPEAKER_03: I think it was still the Agora at that point.
- 32:14SPEAKER_03: Oh, that was so wild.
- 32:16SPEAKER_03: I thought my ears were gonna we walked out.
- 32:18SPEAKER_03: Yep.
- 32:19SPEAKER_03: Couldn't do it anymore.
- 32:20SPEAKER_03: I mean, he's back there just chugging fists of Jack Daniels and just I'm now I'm out of here, man.
- 32:28SPEAKER_04: Do you remember the one time the the lead singer left and Joe's doing a bunch of solos, guitars, and stuff on stage, and it went on forever.
- 32:37SPEAKER_04: It's like my gosh.
- 32:38SPEAKER_04: There was no point in any of that.
- 32:40SPEAKER_04: No, the whole thing was just a mess.
- 32:42SPEAKER_04: Yeah, and then finally the singer comes back on stage, and you can see him and Joe get in an argument, like, where the hell are you?
- 32:49SPEAKER_03: Why did you leave me out here?
- 32:51SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 32:51SPEAKER_03: Like, this is awful.

- 33:41SPEAKER_03: And uh we'll just say he he uh he believes his own hype on how great he is.
- 33:53SPEAKER_03: Oh man, that was that I think I'll if it the tickets were any cheaper than they were, I would have walked out.
- 34:00SPEAKER_03: I took my wife at the because she's a big country fan, I took her at the time.
- 34:05SPEAKER_03: And uh and well Country Boy Can't Survive, that was huge.

- 34:12SPEAKER_03: I I don't even know what songs he played.
- 34:14SPEAKER_03: All remember is him talking and basically putting down the people that paid him money to watch him.
- 34:21SPEAKER_03: Oh gosh.
- 34:22SPEAKER_03: I mean it was that bad.
- 34:23SPEAKER_03: It was just I don't know.

- 34:50SPEAKER_03: All these opinions are my own.
- 34:53SPEAKER_04: These are my opinions and mine alone.
- 34:56SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
- 34:57SPEAKER_03: I just uh just from his attitude, that's the only thing about that concert I remember.
- 35:04SPEAKER_03: I remember him sitting there and just putting down the whole audience.
- 35:09SPEAKER_03: That's all I remember.
- 35:11SPEAKER_04: This might shock you.
- 35:12SPEAKER_04: I went and saw uh remember Screaming Willie's that little bar yeah in um Bryce Road.
- 35:18SPEAKER_04: Yeah, little little bar we used to go to a lot.

- 35:27SPEAKER_04: He did.
- 35:27SPEAKER_04: I don't know if he ever wrote any of his music either.
- 35:30SPEAKER_04: I think he just did remakes of songs and he was basically in the uh overalls and uh the train outfit kind of thing.
- 35:37SPEAKER_04: Hobo thing.
- 35:38SPEAKER_04: A hobo kind of thing.
- 35:39SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it was fun.
- 35:41SPEAKER_04: I mean, I wouldn't call it my best show or anything, but it was a fun show to get to it.
- 35:44SPEAKER_04: Yeah, fun.
- 35:45SPEAKER_04: It was different.
- 35:47SPEAKER_04: But one of my favorite all-time shows is a show, not a concert.
- 35:53SPEAKER_04: Beth Midler.
- 35:55SPEAKER_04: Oh, I saw her at Nation White Arena.
- 35:58SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 35:58SPEAKER_04: It was a good show.

- 36:00SPEAKER_04: She put on a heck of a show.
- 36:02SPEAKER_04: And she has, you know, you know, she did she did a lot of some Broadway stuff, some pop stuff.
- 36:06SPEAKER_04: All the roads, the whole she changed outfits, had different people, had a whole bunch of people in between, singing and dancing.
- 36:14SPEAKER_04: It was it was really a good show.
- 36:15SPEAKER_04: And we just happened to go by chance.
- 36:18SPEAKER_04: Happen to be down downtown, and I saw these people going into nationwide.
- 36:22SPEAKER_04: Well, I don't remember which shows tonight.
- 36:24SPEAKER_04: It was just there's a show tonight, and there was a guy outside selling tickets, you know, trying to scalp them.
- 36:31SPEAKER_04: I go, who who's in here tonight?
- 36:32SPEAKER_04: And he goes, It's Ben Miller.
- 36:34SPEAKER_04: I got a couple uh tickets here for uh oh, I think we were about 15 rows from you know on the floor.
- 36:41SPEAKER_04: So we're real close.
- 36:42SPEAKER_04: Good seats.
- 36:43SPEAKER_04: And uh it was nobody else was around at this point because everybody was going in.
- 36:48SPEAKER_04: The show had actually started and he sold them to us for like a third of the price.
- 36:54SPEAKER_04: And I was like, Yeah, sure, let's go, let's do it.
- 36:57SPEAKER_04: So yeah, when we got in there, she'd already started uh her her thing, and it was it was a really good show.
- 37:03SPEAKER_04: I'm glad I went.
- 37:04SPEAKER_04: Yeah, and actually it is funny because I had um some reason I had my my card and it fell out of my wallet, and I didn't know it.
- 37:18SPEAKER_04: And after the show, I just hear this person going, Scott Jolly! Scott Jolly! And I'm thinking, who the hell's calling me in here?
- 37:26SPEAKER_04: And this guy, I see this guy way, you know, is waving his hand like this, you know, going, Scott Jolly! And I yeah, I say, Yeah, that I'm Scott, and she goes, Oh, I found this card on the floor.
- 37:36SPEAKER_04: And I'm like, What?
- 37:38SPEAKER_04: He said, We almost had a good time on you.
- 37:42SPEAKER_03: Well, you know, it's uh yeah, it's probably yeah, I mean, that's probably the difference between today and back in the day.
- 37:51SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 37:51SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 37:53SPEAKER_03: Well, it was easier.
- 37:54SPEAKER_03: It wasn't as easy back in the day to well, I don't know.
- 37:57SPEAKER_03: I never did it, so I couldn't tell you really.
- 37:59SPEAKER_03: Well, just move on.
- 38:00SPEAKER_03: So I had a uh Bed Middler moment uh Saltina Turner.
- 38:07SPEAKER_03: Tina Turner and Bet Middler?
- 38:09SPEAKER_03: Well, not together.
- 38:10SPEAKER_03: I mean that was my Bette Middler moment.
- 38:14SPEAKER_04: Oh, okay.
- 38:14SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 38:14SPEAKER_03: Tina.
- 38:15SPEAKER_03: And that was during her uh private, uh, was it private eyes?
- 38:19SPEAKER_03: Private dancer, right?
- 38:20SPEAKER_03: Private dancer, yeah.
- 38:21SPEAKER_03: Oh man, that was one of the best concerts I've ever seen.
- 38:25SPEAKER_03: Oh, good.
- 38:26SPEAKER_03: It was uh she was uh well, you know, she's rocker anyway, but man, she just her voice never all it was constant, yeah.
- 38:38SPEAKER_03: Never lost it.
- 38:40SPEAKER_03: Oh uh exciting who else?
- 38:42SPEAKER_03: Oh, Genesis saw them.
- 38:45SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I saw Genesis too, down in Cincinnati.
- 38:47SPEAKER_03: I saw them in Pittsburgh at uh Three Rivers, the old Three River Stadium.
- 38:52SPEAKER_03: And it was funny back then because uh went uh one of my friends we went to high school with moved there.
- 38:59SPEAKER_03: He got a job with Kodak.
- 39:02SPEAKER_03: And uh so he got his tickets.
- 39:05SPEAKER_03: And I well, he also went, right?
- 39:07SPEAKER_03: So we we made a weekend out of it and went down or went over there, and uh I'm like man, I wonder wonder where we're sitting.
- 39:17SPEAKER_03: So we get you know, and the tickets were like on the if you think of a baseball diamond, we were on the uh the first base side, right?
- 39:27SPEAKER_03: Like two rows from the dugout.
- 39:31SPEAKER_03: And I'm like, oh, these are gonna be great.
- 39:33SPEAKER_03: And I'm thinking the stage is gonna be right behind second base.
- 39:37SPEAKER_03: So you're gonna be like less than a hundred feet away, right?
- 39:41SPEAKER_03: So we sat down and I'm looking, I'm like, where's the stage?
- 39:45SPEAKER_03: It's 400 feet straight center field.
- 39:50SPEAKER_03: You can barely see them out there, yeah.
- 39:52SPEAKER_03: Basically watching TV.
- 39:55SPEAKER_03: But man, that well, no, that concert was a good concert too.
- 39:59SPEAKER_04: But yeah.
- 40:01SPEAKER_04: One of the weirdest things I went to, and it was it was had up in the early 80s, was they were doing at the fairgrounds, they were doing this Animal House concert where they were had groups that were playing music from the Animal House of the movie.
- 40:20SPEAKER_04: Oh, really?
- 40:21SPEAKER_04: And the big draw was Otis Day, and the Knights were gonna come out and do the you know, shout.
- 40:27SPEAKER_04: Yeah, shout, you know, that whole thing.
- 40:29SPEAKER_04: And it was just the strangest thing I've ever seen.
- 40:32SPEAKER_04: Was it actually Otis Day and the Nights?
- 40:34SPEAKER_04: Yeah, they actually did, but they oh the weird thing about it is they brought out this guy and he went on this rant for like gosh, ten minutes talking about Otis and Knight, and oh they're great they were, and you just kept going on and on.
- 40:46SPEAKER_04: I'm like, just play the damn song, put them on.
- 40:50SPEAKER_04: Wow.
- 40:50SPEAKER_04: And finally they went in, you know, did shout and stuff.
- 40:54SPEAKER_04: But it was just weird.
- 40:55SPEAKER_04: It was just uh, this is weird.
- 40:58SPEAKER_04: I think we paid like ten dollars for the ticket.
- 41:02SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that would have been kind of strange.
- 41:06SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah.
- 41:07SPEAKER_04: They mean you know the songs uh from the movie, yeah, uh, all those um or just stay at the end.
- 41:14SPEAKER_04: Great movie, by the way.
- 41:15SPEAKER_03: I highly recommend that.
- 41:17SPEAKER_03: I still watch them.
- 41:18SPEAKER_03: It's just uh John Belushi is just to me was you know, that and the blues brothers and that whole era movies back when we were growing up back in the 80s and just you know late 70s.
- 41:31SPEAKER_04: Belushi's speech in the middle of it, remember when the Germans spoiled Pearl Harbor?
- 41:35SPEAKER_04: Germans, Germans let him know he's on a roll.
- 41:38SPEAKER_04: Yeah, that was great.
- 41:40SPEAKER_03: Oh man.
- 41:41SPEAKER_03: Hey, all do you ever see uh Van Halen?
- 41:44SPEAKER_03: No, never did see Van Halen.
- 41:46SPEAKER_03: Did you ever see Sammy?
- 41:48SPEAKER_03: I've seen Sammy, yes.
- 41:49SPEAKER_03: So I've seen Sammy uh after the Van Halen, he was with Cabo Wabbo, or that was one of his bands he put together.
- 42:00SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I don't think it was the circle yet.
- 42:02SPEAKER_03: I did well, it was the same guitar player that was that guitar player, man.
- 42:08SPEAKER_03: Um but I saw I saw him when he first broke up with Montrose is what I saw him.
- 42:14SPEAKER_03: Yeah, this was later.
- 42:15SPEAKER_03: Uh Red Rocker, he was still as.
- 42:18SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 42:18SPEAKER_03: Went with um a couple people we know, and they played nationwide when he was doing all the Kabbawaba stuff.
- 42:27SPEAKER_03: And then uh went to see him with uh when he played with uh Van Allen.
- 42:33SPEAKER_03: That was good too.
- 42:34SPEAKER_03: I mean so I saw them.
- 42:39SPEAKER_04: I think I've talked about it before.
- 42:40SPEAKER_04: For for five bucks, I saw Sammy Hagar, Scorpions in April wine.
- 42:45SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you told yeah, yeah.
- 42:47SPEAKER_03: That is a target.
- 42:50SPEAKER_03: That thing would sell out in like two seconds.
- 42:52SPEAKER_03: It wouldn't even oh yeah, you would there wouldn't even be a ticket left because all the scalpers would take them.
- 42:58SPEAKER_03: You know?
- 42:58SPEAKER_03: So yeah, that was I saw Hart.
- 43:01SPEAKER_03: Uh um had to travel from my my job and uh was up at um uh Indian Casino up in upstate New York.
- 43:13SPEAKER_03: And they were playing there that night that I had to spend the night up there.
- 43:17SPEAKER_03: And the tickets up there were ten bucks for Hart.
- 43:22SPEAKER_04: That's good price.
- 43:24SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and this was probably 2009-ish.
- 43:32SPEAKER_03: And it wasn't that long.
- 43:33SPEAKER_03: I mean, well, you know.
- 43:36SPEAKER_03: It doesn't seem that long ago, but they were ten bucks, and I think the the casino, there was a casino, so they obviously paid them more than, you know.
- 43:46SPEAKER_03: And uh man, what a good and that's that's when they did the uh um Led Zeppelin.
- 43:53SPEAKER_03: Um Oh yeah.
- 43:56SPEAKER_03: Melody at the or medally medally at the end.
- 43:59SPEAKER_03: Oh Oh man, that was oh and and just it still just had that voice where it just blew you over.
- 44:09SPEAKER_03: But uh you know um speaking of Led Zeppelin um Scott Oh it's yes, we're going to go ahead and we're gonna do a live on the streets.

- 45:05SPEAKER_04: They're gonna give us their opinion of Stairway to Heaven.
- 45:09SPEAKER_04: They've never heard it before, and this is the first time they heard it.
- 45:12SPEAKER_04: We just played it uh a couple minutes ago for them.
- 45:15SPEAKER_04: So what did you think, Nora?
- 45:17SPEAKER_04: Um First off, say how old you are.
- 45:20SPEAKER_01: Um, I'm Nora and I'm 13 years old.
- 45:22SPEAKER_04: And what did you think of the song?
- 45:24SPEAKER_04: Did you like it?
- 45:25SPEAKER_04: Not like it?
- 45:26SPEAKER_01: Um, it was like my favorite.
- 45:30SPEAKER_04: No, it's a classic.
- 45:31SPEAKER_04: It is a hit for Led Zeppelin.
- 45:33SPEAKER_04: Did you know that?
- 45:34SPEAKER_01: No.
- 45:35SPEAKER_01: No.
- 45:36SPEAKER_04: What did you think of the length?
- 45:37SPEAKER_04: It is eight minutes long.
- 45:38SPEAKER_01: It's very long and it has a really long intro to it.
- 45:42SPEAKER_04: It does.
- 45:43SPEAKER_04: Did you like the way it started slow and went faster and faster?
- 45:47SPEAKER_01: Um, yeah, I thought that was cool.
- 45:48SPEAKER_04: And then ended back slow again?
- 45:50SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I thought that was cool.
- 45:52SPEAKER_04: What about you, Chloe?
- 45:53SPEAKER_04: Um What did you think of it?
- 45:58SPEAKER_00: The did you like the song?
- 46:04SPEAKER_00: Not that much.
- 46:05SPEAKER_04: Oh no.
- 46:07SPEAKER_00: It's like I like rock and roll, but then I don't like it.
- 46:10SPEAKER_00: It has to be like one that I think.
- 46:12SPEAKER_04: You wanna dance to it?
- 46:13SPEAKER_00: No.
- 46:15SPEAKER_04: Is it just too much guitar for you?
- 46:18SPEAKER_00: No.
- 46:19SPEAKER_00: I don't think they like sing a lot on the song.
- 46:21SPEAKER_00: It's just mostly like music.
- 46:25SPEAKER_00: That was like really long.
- 46:26SPEAKER_04: It was very long.
- 46:27SPEAKER_00: Because the longest song I've heard before that is like five minutes now.
- 46:31SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 46:31SPEAKER_04: This one was over eight.
- 46:33SPEAKER_00: That's a lot.
- 46:34SPEAKER_04: So you got anything written down there that you thought during one of the show that you want to express to people?
- 46:39SPEAKER_01: I thought his voice was kind of whiny.
- 46:42SPEAKER_04: Oh.
- 46:43SPEAKER_05: Ouch.
- 46:45SPEAKER_01: I thought the lyrics were good.
- 46:48SPEAKER_01: Um, and I feel like it's kind of the same melody through the whole song.
- 46:51SPEAKER_01: But I liked it.
- 46:52SPEAKER_01: Like, I like the flute.
- 46:53SPEAKER_01: It sounded really pretty.
- 46:55SPEAKER_01: Um.
- 46:56SPEAKER_01: And at the end, he was like screaming really high pinched.
- 47:01SPEAKER_04: Did you like that or not?
- 47:02SPEAKER_01: Um, kind of.
- 47:04SPEAKER_01: I mean, it was impressive.
- 47:05SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 47:06SPEAKER_01: But yeah.
- 47:07SPEAKER_04: It was impressive.
- 47:07SPEAKER_04: What about you?
- 47:09SPEAKER_04: Um, what did you write down during the song?
- 47:12SPEAKER_00: I like the background music a lot.
- 47:15SPEAKER_00: And it like I like the beat and everything.
- 47:18SPEAKER_00: And then, um, uh, let's see.
- 47:23SPEAKER_00: I didn't really like the song that much.
- 47:26SPEAKER_04: Um.
- 47:26SPEAKER_00: But it was like the intro side.
- 47:28SPEAKER_04: Did you think he was whiny too?
- 47:29SPEAKER_04: Kind of whiny.
- 47:31SPEAKER_04: Uh.
- 47:32SPEAKER_04: Poor guy.
- 47:34SPEAKER_04: Alright, well, that's your our take on oh, Chloe.
- 47:37SPEAKER_04: You never said how old you were.
- 47:38SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah, I didn't.
- 47:40SPEAKER_00: No.
- 47:40SPEAKER_00: Okay, I'm 12.
- 47:42SPEAKER_00: Oh, not twelve.
- 47:45SPEAKER_00: I'm 10.
- 47:46SPEAKER_04: 10.
- 47:47SPEAKER_04: So we have a 10 and 13-year-old, and they were not impressed with Stairway to Heaven and thought he was kind of whiny.
- 47:54SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 47:54SPEAKER_04: Alright, well, say goodbye, girls.
- 48:00SPEAKER_03: So uh whiny is uh and long is pretty much what they uh they can do.
- 48:05SPEAKER_04: We're not big fans, Doug.
- 48:07SPEAKER_04: They're not big fans.
- 48:08SPEAKER_04: I don't think they're gonna be uh putting that track uh on too many times.
- 48:15SPEAKER_04: They have to say uh happy birthday to Nora.
- 48:18SPEAKER_04: You heard Nora on there giving her view of uh Led Zeppelin.
- 48:21SPEAKER_04: She actually just had a birthday, so let's say happy birthday to her.
- 48:27SPEAKER_03: To you.
- 48:27SPEAKER_03: Happy birthday.
- 48:28SPEAKER_03: Happy birthday to you.

- 49:39SPEAKER_04: We even tempted to jump over this little crick, but it it never worked for us.
- 49:46SPEAKER_04: We couldn't get it, we couldn't get it right, and I oh I remember one time I did a jump, and we I was trying to jump ramp to ramp like Evil does.
- 49:57SPEAKER_04: Well, I hit coming down, my bike went right in the between the ramp, so I did not land very well.
- 50:06SPEAKER_04: And being in the street, I just slid on my right side, and my whole arm and elbow, everything just got all skidded up, and it was a mess.
- 50:16SPEAKER_04: It was a mess.
- 50:18SPEAKER_04: Yes.

- 51:13SPEAKER_03: It didn't go down or anything.
- 51:15SPEAKER_03: It was what was scary about it is the uh the gas can, the nozzle caught on fire.
- 51:23SPEAKER_03: So we thought the gas can was gonna blow up.
- 51:26SPEAKER_03: So we're trying to not one of your smartest moves, huh?
- 51:31SPEAKER_03: I didn't have a lot of smart moves back in the day.
- 51:33SPEAKER_03: Still don't, actually, I don't think so.
- 51:36SPEAKER_04: Uh well, remember it's the smart moves.
- 51:39SPEAKER_04: Remember in in in elementary school, so it'd been the 60s, and uh you always had to do those drills.
- 51:46SPEAKER_04: Oh, like if there was a tornado drill, where to go, so they they would take you out in the hallway and you'd get on your knees and put your head down between you because if a tornado hits, this is where you're gonna be.
- 51:58SPEAKER_04: And then for some reason, they had the um if there was a nuclear blast or something happened with the nuclear bomb going off, and they just told you to crawl under your desk.
- 52:09SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that's gonna protect you.
- 52:12SPEAKER_03: I think they just did that to I don't know, make you feel better or something.
- 52:16SPEAKER_04: Maybe.
- 52:16SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you gotta do something.
- 52:18SPEAKER_04: Yeah, and I think I actually heard the teacher say, crawl under your desk and kiss your uh goodbye.
- 52:24SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that is not gonna protect you, kids.
- 52:28SPEAKER_03: You know, it's funny.
- 52:29SPEAKER_03: I I'm trying to remember back.
- 52:31SPEAKER_03: Obviously, the nuclear drill is just drills because we never never actually had, you know, yeah, how to use that, but on the tornado drills, which is something that we could have I don't ever remember actually having a live tornado to where we had to do that.
- 52:49SPEAKER_04: No, I've never did that.
- 52:51SPEAKER_03: I don't remember that.
- 52:52SPEAKER_04: If we did, then I I know we would do the fake ones, you know, where you pretend like there was one coming and you get in the hallway and everything.
- 52:59SPEAKER_04: The drills, which made more sense, get you out of the way of the glasses.
- 53:02SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you were kind of yeah, yeah.
- 53:04SPEAKER_04: A little protection.
- 53:05SPEAKER_04: I mean it's about it.
- 53:06SPEAKER_03: I don't remember actually having a tornado where we had to do that for real.
- 53:11SPEAKER_03: No, I did not.
- 53:12SPEAKER_03: Yeah, me neither.
- 53:13SPEAKER_04: I could be I have it at I have at a workplace.
- 53:17SPEAKER_04: Yes, oh yeah, yeah.
- 53:19SPEAKER_04: Some place I worked, we had to a tornado was coming, but we never it didn't hit us, it went around us, but it was on its way and we all had to gather in the um it was like the office bathroom area with no windows or nothing, you know, in the middle of the place.
- 53:33SPEAKER_04: And we did do that once.
- 53:35SPEAKER_03: We're when I was traveling uh over in Indiana on uh campus uh Purdue, actually, West Lafayette.
- 53:43SPEAKER_03: And they had a tornado come through there when I was staying there.
- 53:46SPEAKER_03: And it came over the loudspeaker, like one of the alarms in the every room that everybody had to come down to the lobby, which made sense because you know the lobby is nothing but glass.
- 54:01SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 54:02SPEAKER_03: And they put us in a line.
- 54:04SPEAKER_03: Yeah, they put us in like a um big um meeting room kind of thing.
- 54:09SPEAKER_03: We had to sit there until it was it was past us, but I don't know why, but oh well, I guess you know, because you're high up, so which means you have you know 20 floors coming down on top of you, so that was a good thing.
- 54:23SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I forgot.
- 54:24SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you don't want to be in there.
- 54:25SPEAKER_04: No, no, no, no.
- 54:28SPEAKER_04: Do you remember also?
- 54:29SPEAKER_04: Um, I know we used to, we were we were lived uh kind of downtown Columbus area, and uh I can remember being seven years old and walking to the apothecary, which is like the drug store, you know, Walgreens kind of place, and going there with my quarter, getting some candy, and then coming back home all by myself.
- 54:51SPEAKER_04: Nobody, nobody said anything.
- 54:53SPEAKER_04: It was wasn't crazy.
- 54:55SPEAKER_04: Nope.
- 54:56SPEAKER_04: No.
- 54:56SPEAKER_04: And we used to love if we had a quarter, we would love it because we could get a bottle of pop, and then we turn in the uh the pop container, you know, the glass, yeah, glass bottle, turn it in, they would give us a nickel, and then we go get some penny candy after it.
- 55:12SPEAKER_04: Oh yeah, a quarter, you were living.
- 55:14SPEAKER_04: Oh, you were, man.
- 55:16SPEAKER_03: Yeah, you were living, baby.
- 55:18SPEAKER_03: You sure were.
- 55:21SPEAKER_03: So I wanted to do uh real quick, I promised everybody last week that I would uh review the full Europe album when the whole album dropped.
- 55:32SPEAKER_03: And I listened to it this week and uh thought I'd give my quick review here.
- 55:39SPEAKER_03: Um so having said that um I would give the album a C.
- 55:49SPEAKER_03: Overall, the whole entire album.
- 55:51SPEAKER_03: There's a couple there's three uh songs, uh, one-on-one, which is the um track that uh first track on the album has the great uh um bass part opening and all that, and great orca kind of orchestr orchestra kind of feel in the beginning.
- 56:10SPEAKER_03: That's a great song.
- 56:12SPEAKER_03: Um Scandinavian Eyes is another one.
- 56:16SPEAKER_03: It's kind of a funky beat.
- 56:18SPEAKER_03: Um and uh The Apis uh in the Absence of Grace, which is kind of a piano ballad kind of thing.
- 56:28SPEAKER_03: Um, those were probably my standout tracks on that.
- 56:33SPEAKER_03: Um The Scandinavian Eyes, uh that one is like five minutes long.
- 56:40SPEAKER_03: Could have been a little shorter because it just kept doing the same thing.
- 56:45SPEAKER_03: It's like taking that great beat or that great part of that song and just replaying it like the song's gonna get better the longer you play it.
- 56:54SPEAKER_03: And it doesn't, you know, it's kind of to me, it diminishes diminishes it because now you're just starting to wear yourself, you know, wear your listener out by just keep going.
- 57:05SPEAKER_03: Just keep going.
- 57:06SPEAKER_03: You know, it's we're gonna have a hit.
- 57:07SPEAKER_03: Just keep going.
- 57:08SPEAKER_03: You know, just keep going.
- 57:09SPEAKER_03: Just keep going.
- 57:11SPEAKER_03: Uh the other parts of the album, I mean, you know, granted, they're they're good.
- 57:17SPEAKER_03: They're a good band.
- 57:19SPEAKER_03: Um, I think it's just uh that album minus those tracks were a little um tiring.
- 57:32SPEAKER_03: If that's the right word.
- 57:34SPEAKER_03: It's it doesn't it did not um pique my interest at all.
- 57:39SPEAKER_04: No.
- 57:40SPEAKER_03: It was like you you listen to the song and you're just like you know, you're not getting excited.
- 57:46SPEAKER_03: You know, I get excited over music.
- 57:48SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that just I d I felt absolutely no emotion on those other songs at all.
- 57:55SPEAKER_03: Just nothing.
- 57:57SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I've just you know, it's one of those I hate to say that because, you know, I mean it they're you know obviously it takes a lot to write a song and record a song and and all that and put together the pieces and everything, but it's just that's my opinion.
- 58:14SPEAKER_03: But there is a good three uh good uh three three good tracks on it.
- 58:18SPEAKER_03: But overall, probably C maybe a B minus.
- 58:23SPEAKER_03: Um just because it was just there was no surprises at all.
- 58:27SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 58:29SPEAKER_03: But yeah.
- 58:30SPEAKER_03: I remember a true blue uh Europe fan, and uh I apologize if I uh you know installed a Jeep at all.
- 58:39SPEAKER_03: But uh one man's opinion, and I'm designed one man.
- 58:45SPEAKER_03: That's my opinion.
- 58:46SPEAKER_03: Not Scott's, don't send him the hate mail.
- 58:49SPEAKER_03: That's it's no my opinion.
- 58:51SPEAKER_03: Just jug.
- 58:53SPEAKER_03: But uh anyhoosen.
- 58:55SPEAKER_03: So um that's uh that's all I got, really.
- 59:02SPEAKER_03: I can't I mean we can talk about seeing bands for hours.
- 59:07SPEAKER_03: I mean, just you know, but uh I don't know.
- 59:12SPEAKER_03: I don't think people want to hear it for eight hours.
- 59:14SPEAKER_04: Uh no, not not us.
- 59:17SPEAKER_03: No, no, yeah.
